Like every other New Englander, I'm in a state of shock this (early) morning. Disbelief. Did it really happen? Did it really take 86 years? 86 years. My god that really is a long time. After a partial night's sleep, I guess it'll start to sink in.
Here's to an amazing team, that pulled off the impossible. To those who never got to see it happen in their lifetime. And it's more than just a baseball game we're talking about here. The memories of buying cases of baseball cards with my brother, hoping that they were all filled with Wade Boggs, Jim Rice and yes... Bill Buckner. Going to Fenway with my family all those years, and continually going back to soak up the history. It didn't matter that they never won it all -- heck, it's fun to root for the underdog. But this year, it all seemed like it was the right time for Boston to win. An unforgettable eight consecutive victories.
Now what do we do? First: sleep.
